Star Wars actor and nature-worshipper Harrison Ford claims that without a Paris agreement, the human race will go extinct.

In a Dec. 9 interview with Australian Broadcasting Network’s evening news show, 7.30, host Leigh Sales asked Ford, “If the world is not able to come up with some sort of plan [at the Paris climate talks] to move forward, what are the consequences?”

Want to tell people that they are hurting children around the globe?

Use a pop star and a fake newscast to soften up the guilt trip.

In a video reminiscent of a bad episode of “Who Wore it Better,” pop superstar Katy Perry channelled her inner Anchorman in a burgundy pantsuit while she “forecasted” the climate threat in a video for UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund.)  UNICEF, a humanitarian program of the UN that provides assistance to mothers and children in developing countries, advocates for a strong legally binding global agreement to be the result of the Paris conference.

Climate alarmists have been in Paris warning about the threat of global warming and the need to limit carbon dioxide emissions for the past week now. But climate skeptics are also bringing their own enlightenment to the City of Light.

“Are they trying to control the climate … or you?” the new film Climate Hustle asks. That is just one of the questions the film will seek to answer about global warming alarmism.

Brad Pitt doesn’t realize the government is made up of people, not all of them millionaires like him...

In a rambling Dec. 2 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor/director with a net worth of $240 million used his upcoming anti-capitalist movie, The Big Short, to lash out at Wall Street.

Biofuels should serve as an instructive lesson for negotiators in Paris, because they are proof that not all energy sources work as well as anticipated. But journalists are unlikely to remind them or the public.

The early 2000s were the heyday of good press for biofuels. Major newspapers like The New York Times ran stories about Willie Nelson’s biodiesel startup and individuals converting their vehicles into “veggie” cars to run on french fry grease and other forms of biodiesels. The Washington Post even editorialized about people “dreaming big” plans like replacing hydrocarbon fuels (gasoline) with biodiesels.

The Paris climate talks have been underway for four days, and broadcast network coverage included journalists marveling at the French security presence and praising the talks’ goals.

Between Nov. 28 and Dec. 2, the morning and evening news shows on ABC, NBC, and CBS collectively spent more than 30 minutes covering the U.N. climate conference in Paris, called COP 21.

One-sided and overwhelmingly biased coverage of climate change wasn’t enough for the news industry publication Columbia Journalism Review.

On Dec. 1, CJR contributing editor Cristine Russell actually claimed “climate change has often languished in news coverage ...”

The matter of renewable “energy” sources is certain to be part of Paris summit negotiations, since they are an essential part of the goal of lowering carbon emissions. Ahead of the Paris meeting, one British Labor Party politician argued for a “zero” emissions target, rather than already discussed severe 80-percent cuts.

However, the proponents of such cuts rarely acknowledge they are an unrealistic, maybe even impossible goal. And the liberal news media refuse to expose the truth. In contrast to the news coverage of fossil fuels and nuclear power, reporting on  “renewable” sources like wind and solar power is often positive.

Some people just can’t take a hint. Like George Soros, for example.

On Nov. 20, the liberal billionaire’s Open Society Foundations and Open Society Institute were banned from operating in Russia, according to CNBC.

Although this “troubled” the U.S. State Department, it’s nothing new. Soros’ Open Society Institute was previously kicked out of Moscow twelve years ago. But don’t expect the media to remind people of that history.

The climate conference in Paris hadn’t even begun, before climate alarmists were warning a far more stringent emissions agreement was necessary.

British Labor Party politician Ed Milliband wrote for The Guardian on Nov. 22, that the Paris summit “can save the planet,” but not with the emissions pledges that are expected. Heralding the falling costs of solar and wind, Milliband claimed zero emissions are necessary and could be done “without closing down our economy.”

Climate skeptics don’t exist, according to actor, activist and socialist sympathizer Sean Penn.

They’re just cult followers of Fox news programming.

Certain types of energy are certain targets for the 190 governments’ representatives gathering in Paris this week  and from green activists surrounding the melee.

The goal of the U.N. climate conference in Paris, known as COP21, is to get an international agreement on reducing carbon emissions, out of fear that climate change is a global threat. But the agenda of some developing nations to make rich nations like the U.S. pay them billions of dollars to fund a transition to “clean energy” reveals one reason clean energy goals aren’t realistic.
